Typing our Fig Cuttings

All of our products are grown from trees on our farm. We don't sell anything that comes from a third party. We use the original name of our source material and try to provide enough photos and videos of the plant or fruit for you to confirm type through your own research. Unfortunately we can't provide genetic testing or an extended pedigree. But if you have any questions about a specific product, please contact us.

Location Specific Cultivar Information

We are maritime pacific northwest zone 8A. Our winter cold temperatures will occasionally dip into the low 20's and slightly lower. The mother plants of all our cuttings survive unprotected outdoors here. Because we don't have any experience with growing our trees in other zones, we don't provide specific growing information for other locations. Please visit ourfigs.com or other resources to make a decision on what will work in your area.

How we harvest and store our cuttings

All of our cuttings sold in winter are harvested after they go dormant. Immediately after the harvest, we store them in a climate controlled cooler at 37F. If we do sell green cuttings in the summer, they are cut, packaged and shipped out the following day.

Some Specifics on our Fig Cuttings

• Dormancy for hardwood cuttings normally begins in late November. Soon after, we will begin harvesting our dormant, hardwood cuttings. During the growing season, we harvest the cuttings only when ordered.

• Our cuttings are generally first year wood at least eight inches long and will have three or more well-formed buds. We aim for a diameter that is greater than 3/8", sometimes much greater.

• We propagate all of our fig trees by rooting so the length and caliper are optimized for the rooting process. However, they can also be used for grafting if you can find a branch that matches the diameter of our cutting.
  
  

How we process your order

We only sell when we are ready to ship. When you order during the dormant season sale, we pull your sticks from our cooler or harvest directly from our field. We then pack your order in a cardboard box keep it in a cool location until we transport it to the Post Office. We only ship once a week on Mondays (or Tuesdays if Monday is a holiday) to avoid having the plant material spend the weekend in the postal system. For more information on how we ship, see our shipping policies.
